Abstract

Existing literature underscores the potential of human resource analytics (HRA) to enhance the strategic recognition of human resource management (HRM) within organisations. However, there has been limited focus on how HRA practitioners attempt to realise this potential. Our study investigates how HRA practitioners use HRA in their daily work to enhance their strategic recognition. Drawing on practice theory and a range of qualitative data, including expert interviews and observations, our analysis not only shows that implementing HRA offers opportunities for improved strategic recognition but also reveals that HRM practitioners showcase the strategic relevance of their analytics capabilities through four forms of tactical manoeuvring: capturing contextual challenges, using guerilla tactics, busting myths and running stealth projects. Our findings contribute to the literature on HRA and the broader discourse on HRM's role and its strategic recognition.

“我们信靠上帝。所有人都必须带来数据：解析人力资源分析对人力资源管理战略认识的影响

现有文献强调人力资源分析（HRA）的潜力，以提高人力资源管理（HRM）在组织内的战略认识。然而，对人力资源管理从业者如何实现这一潜力的关注有限。我们的研究调查了人力资源管理从业者如何在日常工作中使用人力资源管理来提高他们的战略认知。根据实践理论和一系列定性数据，包括专家访谈和观察，我们的分析不仅表明实施人力资源管理为提高战略认识提供了机会，而且还揭示了人力资源管理从业者通过四种形式的战术操作展示了他们分析能力的战略相关性：捕捉情境挑战、使用游击战术、打破神话和运行秘密项目。我们的研究结果有助于人力资源管理的文献和更广泛的话语人力资源管理的作用和战略认识。
